Old Project Avalon Forum (ARCHIVE) - View Single Post - Obama Signs Spending Bill, Breaks Yet Another Promise

My understanding of the signing of this $400 billion bill
is that it is last year's budget, which should have
been put through in October 2008. To not sign it
because it includes the earmarks which President
Obama does not support would mean leaving the
country without government money as of now.

It is so easy to criticize without knowing the
full facts.

Politicians have to be pragmatists - and this
means sometimes doing things they would
rather not do.
